Feeler Thread- SoloWerks Coilovers. About 650 miles on them

[AllroadCorbin]

I have a brand new set of solos on my Allroad. Sits Amazing. But I am looking for something more performance oriented. For $550 new theyre an insane value but just not for me. Have my eye on some H&Rs. The coils are flawless and have been driven on for about 600-700 miles. Looking for $450. Located in Boston. PM me interest and offers

thanks

Corbin,

I was in your shoes months ago and went down the H&R path because I too, needed better performance for my track days. Think very carefully though about your decision. How many track days or how often do you drive spiritedly where the cost/sacrifices justifies the means? From my recollection, your DD is worth about 20K miles a year. That's a lot of commuting.

To be perfectly frank with you, I believe the H&Rs are going to be too harsh for a DD car. I am on 19's and am 25 1/4" front, 25 1/2" rear GTF and feel EVERY little imperfection in the road. Don't get me wrong, the performance is great and mildly comfortable with the H&Rs being a linear rated coil, I'm just getting slightly tired of the firmer, "feel everything" ride from them.

Maybe I am just getting old...

Good to know. A friend of mine had H&Rs on his Allroad and said they are super comfy. Half the reason I want other ones is because these are also bouncy. I rode in a friend with STs and it was cushy as hell haha. Sorta liked it. Maybe I should suck it up.... I mean it's on 20 inch wheels with rock hard PSS tires which don't help

Photo of the coilovers on your allroad? Interested in these for my B8 avant.

I've had the solowerks for more than a year now. IMHO a perfect combo of price+performance+looks. Looking to drop her another 1/2" actually.

thanks for the interest folks but I decided that changing to the H&Rs just isnt worth the extra hassle and $.

I have heard many alternating reviews between the STs and Solowerk coilovers stating that either one or the other was too bouncy/stiff. You mentioned in the post below the STs were pretty cushy. Would you be able to expand on that? Do you think the Solowerks are bouncy because of your wheel/tire setup?

I've had KW's before and Solo-Werks. Now I'm running ST's on my Audi b8 as a dd. They're great, built in Germany by KW.
